Chia pet maker is now making an Obama Chia head with two poses, one smiling and one determined. Some (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-kass-09-apr09,0,587618.column) are calling this "racist" somehow. Are you offended?

I'd like one.

Doesn't look anything like him, but I don't see how it is racist.

How could this possibly be racist?

Why is it racist if it's true?

He HAS Chia-style hair.

There's a difference between saying someone is 3/5ths a human (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_compromise) (the very definition of racist) and making fun of someone's hair.

From what I heard today, the ones who are saying its racist are saying it because of the color of the pottery and the afro-esque nature of plant "hair".

There is something about it that reminds me of David Letterman though.

It's the same color as every other Chia. People are so stupid.

That one only comes with about half the seeds as the Obama Chia Head.
